Geosynthetics such as geogrids or geotextiles have been widely used to improve the bearing capacity of soft ground. This study investigated the California bearing ratio (CBR) of waste fishing net (WFN)-reinforced sand. CBR tests were carried out to evaluate the improvement in the bearing capacity of WFN-reinforced sand with different embedded depths. The experimental results indicated that the CBR increased as the embedded depth of the WFN decreased. The bearing capacity ratio (BCR) is the ratio of the bearing capacity of reinforced ground to that of unreinforced ground. The BCR at the penetration depths of 2.5 mm, 5 mm, and the peak point decreased with an increase in the embedded depth.

배전용 콘크리트 전주에 작용하는 힘들이 지반의 변위에 미치는 영향을 유한요소법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 지반의 종류, 풍하중, 근가의 위치, 매입길이, 경간의 길이를 변화시키며 단전주와 겹전주의 경우에 지반의 변위를 분석하였다. 근가의 위치는 매입길이의 1/4지점에서 변위가 최소로 나타났다. 지반의 종류는 지반의 강성이 클수록 변위가 작아서 연약한 점토나 느슨한 모래지반 또는 실트 지반은 변위가 크다. 겹전주는 굴착면적이 커서 변위가 다소 큰 것으로 판단되며 시공시에는 콘크리트보강이 필요하다. 지표면에 가까울수록 횡방향 변위는 매입길이비가 작은 전주가 더 크게 나타났다. 횡방향 변위를 줄이기 위해서는 매입길이를 크게 하는 것이 좋다. 경간길이는 횡방향 변위에 영향이 별로 없는 것으로 나타났다.

To investigate the critical buckling load and post-buckling behavior of an axially loaded pile entirely embedded in soil, the non-linear large deflection differential equation for a pinned pile, based on the Winkler-model and the discretionary distribution function of the foundation coefficient along pile shaft, was established by energy method. Assuming that the deflection function was a power series of some perturbation parameter according to the boundary condition and load in the pile, the non-linear large deflection differential equation was transformed to a series of linear differential equations by using perturbation approach. By taking the perturbation parameter at middle deflection, the higher-order asymptotic solution of load-deflection was then found. Effect of ratios of soil depth to pile length, and ratios of pile stiffness to soil stiffness on the critical buckling load and performance of piles (entirely embedded and partially embedded) after flexural buckling were analyzed. Results show that the buckling load capacity increases as the ratios of pile stiffness to soil stiffness increasing. The pile performance will be more stable when ratios of soil depth to pile length, and soil stiffness to pile stiffness decrease.

Monopile foundations of offshore wind turbines embedded in soft clay are subjected to the long-term cyclic lateral loads induced by winds, currents, and waves, the vibration of monopile leads to the accumulation of pore pressure and cyclic strains in the soil in its vicinity, which poses a threat to the safety operation of monopile. The researchers mainly focused on the hysteretic stress-strain relationship of soft clay and kinds of stiffness degradation models have been adopted, which may consume considerable computing resources and is not applicable for the long-term bearing performance analysis of monopile. In this study, a modified cyclic stiffness degradation model considering the effect of plastic strain and pore pressure change has been proposed and validated by comparing with the triaxial test results. Subsequently, the effects of cyclic load ratio, pile aspect ratio, number of load cycles, and length to embedded depth ratio on the accumulated rotation angle and pore pressure are presented. The results indicate the number of load cycles can significantly affect the accumulated rotation angle of monopile, whereas the accumulated pore pressure distribution along the pile merely changes with pile diameter, embedded length, and the number of load cycles, the stiffness of monopile can be significantly weakened by decreasing the embedded depth ratio L/H of monopile. The stiffness degradation of soil is more significant in the passive earth pressure zone, in which soil liquefaction is likely to occur. Furthermore, the suitability of the "accumulated rotation angle" and "accumulated pore pressure" design criteria for determining the required cyclic load ratio are discussed.

Earthquake preparedness has become more important with recent increase in the number of earthquakes in Korea, but many existing structures are not prepared for earthquakes. There are various types of liquefaction prevention method that can be applied, such as compaction, replacement, dewatering, and inhibition of shear strain. However, most of the liquefaction prevention methods are applied before construction, and it is important to find optimal methods that can be applied to existing structures and that have few effects on the environment, such as noise, vibration, and changes in underground water level. The purpose of this study is to estimate the correlation between the displacement of a structure and variations of pore water pressure on the ground in accordance with the depth of the sheet file when liquidation occurs. To achieve this, a shaking table test was performed for Joo-Mun-Jin standard sand and an earth pressure, accelerometer, pore water pressure transducer, and LVDT were installed in both the non-liquefiable layer and the liquefiable layer to measure the subsidence and excess pore water pressure in accordance with the time of each embedded depth. Then the results were analyzed. A comparison of the pore water pressure in accordance with Hsp/Hsl was shown to prevent lateral water flow at 1, 0.85 and confirmed that the pore water pressure increased. In addition, the relationship between Hsp/Hsl and subsidence was expressed as a trend line to calculate the expected settlement rate formula for the embedded depth ratio.

지오셀 시스템의 사질토 지반에서의 보강효과를 규명하기 위하여 높이 대 폭비(H/W), 상대밀도, 재료의 강도, 복토의 두께를 다르게 하여 모형 재하시험을 수행하였다. 연구 결과 지오셀 시스템은 지오셀의 인장강도보다는 연결부의 강도가 작게 나타나 더 중요한 인자로 판단되었다. 모래의 상대밀도, 재료의 강도와 복토두께가 동일한 경우 모형 지오셀의 극한지지력은 높이 대 폭비(H/W)가 클수록 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며 복토두께 변화에 따른 지지력비(BCR)는 낮은 상대밀도에서 더 크게 나타났다. 또한 모래의 상대밀도, 높이 대 폭비(H/W)와 복토두께가 동일한 경우 모형 지오셀의 재료의 인장강도가 커짐에 따라 극한지지력은 증가하였으며 인장강도의 영향은 조밀한 모래에서 더 두드러진 것으로 나타났다. 또한 복토층의 두께가 작을수록 지지력비는 큰 값을 나타내었다. 재료의 인장강도가 작은 특별한 경우에 Koerner공식의 적용은 주의가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Centrifuge model experiments were performed to investigate the confining effects of the sheet piles, installed to the sides of soft clay ground treated with sand compaction piles, on the bearing capacity and concentration ratio of composite ground. For the given g-level in the centrifuge model tests, replacement ratio of SCP and the width of surcharge loads on the surface of ground with SCP, the confining effects of installing the sheet piles on the edges of SCP ground on the bearing capacity, change of stress concentration ratio and failure mechanism were investigated. Kaolin, one of typical clay mineral, and Jumunjin standard sand were used as a soft clay ground and sand compaction pile irrespectively. As results of experiments, lateral confining effect by inserting the model sheet piles fixed to the loading plate was observed. For the strip surcharge loading condition, the yielding stress intensity in the form of the strip surcharge loads tends to increase with increasing the embedded depth of sheet piles. The stress concentration ratio was found not to be influenced consistently with the embedded depth of sheet piles whereas the effect of stress intensity on stress concentration ratio shows the general trend that values of stress concentration ratio are relatively high at the initial stage of loading and tend to decrease and converge to the certain values. For the failure mechanism in the case of reinforced with sheet piles, displacement behavior related to the punching failure, settlement right beneath the loading plate occurred since the soil was confined with sheet piles, was observed.

In this study, the uplift capacity of anchor plates embedded in sand was investigated by conducting model tests. Square shaped anchors were used in the tests and parameters such as relative density of sand, embedment ratio (H/B), spacing ratio between anchors (S/B) and anchor configuration affecting the uplift capacity were investigated. Breakout factor and group efficiency which are dimensionless parameters were used to show the results. A series of finite element analyses and analytical solutions were additionally performed to ascertain the validity of the findings from the laboratory model tests and to supplement the results of the model tests. It can be concluded that the embedment depth in dense sand soil condition is the most important parameter with respect to the other parameters as to influencing the uplift capacity of group anchors.
